+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX crudetype"" "\fLcrudetype\fR \(em Lineprinter output from DVI files.''
+.I Crudetype
+takes a standard TeX DVI file and generates output
+suitable for printing on a lineprinter. Of course no lineprinter can possibly
+do justice to the power of TeX, but it does give a fairly good idea of what
+your output would look like on a respectable printer.Thus
+.I Crudetype
+is very useful in the early stages of debugging TeX input, because you
+do not need any special equipment to run it and lineprinter output is
+less expensive than laserprinter output. The output file can also be
+inspected with editors or passed directly to your VDU but for this you
+need a 132-column-wide terminal. Also because VDUs cannot show
+overstruck characters, these appear in incorrect positions.
+
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.PP
+.TP
+.BI \-b
+(Batch-view) Produces a file more suitable for viewing through an
+editor. The main change is that overstruck characters are omitted.
+.TP
+.BI \-c " number"
+Stop after this many pages. Normally
+.I Crudetype
+will print all pages.
+.TP
+.BI \-d " font-directory"
+Look for font files here instead of the standard TEXFONTS environment
+variable. Note the punctuation is peculiar, e.g. '-d/strange/place/.tfm'
+.TP
+.BI \-f " number"
+Start printing at the first page whose
+.I count0
+parameter is greater than or equal to the specified number.
+.TP
+.BI \-i " number"
+(Inspect) Produce immediate output on the terminal. The number N is
+optional. If it is specified, Crudetype pauses after every N lines.
+If it is missing, the default is 20. N=0 specifies no pausing.
+.TP
+.BI \-m " number"
+Magnify by (number)/100. Some magnification is needed because
+most TeX characters are narrower than lineprinter characters. I
+do not know any plausible algorithm for adjusting the magnification
+according to the fonts being used. The least bad alternative seemed to
+be to allow the user to specify a magnification; the default is
+adjusted so some files look reasonable on a lineprinter. Now replaced by
+.BI \-x
+and
+.BI \-y
+(see below); retained only for compatibility.
+.TP
+.BI \-p " printfile"
+Send output to the named file instead of the default. The
+default output file name is:
+(current default directory)(DVI file name)(.lpr)
+.TP
+.B \-q
+(quiet) Suppress information messages.
+.TP
+.B \-r
+(run on) Suppress form feeds; instead
+.I Crudetype
+prints a string
+like ----- PAGE n ----- .
+.TP
+.B \-s
+(squash) Suppress blank lines in the printed output. Normally,
+output is double-spaced to allow space for super- and subscripts.
+.TP
+.BI \-x " number"
+.TP
+.BI \-y " number"
+Specify separate horizontal and vertical magnifications. As with
+-m, the number is regarded as a percentage. If -m is also specified,
+both magnifications take effect.
